Do you know that by adopting the following "eco-driving" behaviours, you could improve your vehicle's fuel economy and provide air quality benefits as well.

Accelerate slowly and brake gradually - it's safer, uses less gas, and on average, gets you to your destination just as quickly.

Minimize the amount of time your vehicle idles. For example, consider parking your car and going inside instead of using "drive-up" lanes. 

Park in the shade during hot weather.

Observe the posted speed limits - it's safer and savers gas.

Using cruise control can save fuel.

Long periods of idling to warm up a vehicle on cold mornings are not required and wastes fuel .

Use your heater and air conditioning selectively.

Studies have shown that by following these tips, average drivers can reduce the amount of fuel they use by 25%. Give them a try you might be pleasantly surprised.
